amflush

AMFLUSH(8)						      System Manager's Manual							AMFLUSH(8)

NAME

       amflush - flush Amanda backup files from holding disk to tape

SYNOPSIS

       amflush [ -f ] [ -D datestamp ]* config [ host [ disk ]* ]*

DESCRIPTION

       Amflush	writes Amanda backups from the holding disks to tape, and updates the Amanda info database and tape list accordingly.  Backups may
       stay in a holding disk when something is wrong with the tape at the time amdump is run.	When this happens, the problem must  be  corrected
       and amflush run by hand.

       -D  datestamp specify a	datestamp expression you want to flush, see the "DATASTAMP EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description.	-D
       20001225-7 will flush all dump from 25 december 2000 to 27 december 2000.

       You can specify many host/disk expressions, only disks that match an expression will be flushed. All disk are flushed if no expression  are
       given. see the "HOST & DISK EXPRESSION" section of amanda(8) for a description.

       Amflush	will  look in the holding disks specified by the amanda.conf file in /etc/amanda/config for any non-empty Amanda work directories.
       It then prompts you to select a directory or to process all of the directories.	The work directories in the holding disks are named by the
       date at the time amdump was run, e.g. 19910215.

       Amflush normally detaches itself from the tty and runs as a background process.	With the -f option, amflush stays in the foreground.  This
       is useful if amflush is run as part of another script that, for example, advances the tape after the flush is completed.

       See the amanda(8) man page for more details about Amanda.

EXAMPLE

       Amflush will search for holding areas associated with the PUCC configuration.  After you select which holding area to flush, amflush writes
       the data to tape, updates the databases and sends a mail report similar to amdump(8).

	      % amflush DailySet1
	      Scanning /amanda-hold...
		20001113: found Amanda directory.
		20001114: found Amanda directory.

	      Multiple Amanda directories, please pick one by letter:
		A. 20001113
		B. 20001114
	      Select directories to flush [A..B]: [ALL] all

	      Flushing dumps in 20001113, 20001114,
	      today: 20001117
	      to tape drive /dev/rmt/0mn.
	      Expecting tape DMP014 or a new tape.  (The last dumps were to tape DMP013)
	      Are you sure you want to do this? yes
	      Running in background, you can log off now.
	      You'll get mail when amflush is finished.
